Before Federation (prior to 1901), Australia was not a nation; each of the British colonies was its own self-ruling state. Each had separate laws and regulations and functioned effectively as a separate country. Those colonies were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, the last one to join (Singleton et al. 2013, pp.55-56). According to “Federation 1890-1910” published by the government of Western Australia (n.d.), that state had delayed its decision because it had seen such rapid changes in the previous decade, including the discovery of gold and a population increase from 50,000 to near 200,000. ...

Labor unions in the U.S

There are two main reasons why the American Federation of Labor (AFL) succeeded while other unions such as International Workers of the World (IWW) and the Knight of Labor (KOL) failed. First, the AFL had an added benefit as the union was less radical than the other unions that failed. Secondly, the AFL was able to cover more skilled laborers that the other counterparts. Dissimilar to the other Unions, AFL concentrated on improving the working environment for their members by advocating higher wages, shorter work time and better working relationships (Peterson, 24). The union did not concentrate on the ...

Health Care in Russia vs Health Care in the U.S.

According to the Institute of Medicine of National Academy of Sciences, the United States of America is a single developed industrial country that does not have universal health care. Instead there is a powerful health insurance system, partially funded by government through national programs. As a result 45% of total health care expenditures are spent on these programs (Sultz and Young 154). Unlike the U.S., Russian Federation has free universal medicine, and state constitution guarantees each citizen free health care services. Numerous debates rise regarding both American and Russian health care systems, their availability, effectiveness and expenditures. Each of the systems has ...

Introduction

Russia is a huge producer of oil and gas. It is the second largest producer and exporter of oil, and the largest producer and exporter of natural gas (Winfrey, 2010).

The number of adolescents getting pregnant is alarming considering that more and more teens are becoming pregnant at a young age. Teenage girls who find themselves in such a predicament stop going to school permanently.

Because a lot of these pregnancies are related to girls' failing academic performance at school, it is crucial that ...

On the other hand, Wolff sees the university as the pursuer of simple truths in various areas and the institution responsible for the preparation of young people for the pursuit of these simple truths. Finally, Readings envisions a scenario where the fragmentation of university as a factor that can be put be leveraged on and put to good use. While all these perspectives are true in their own rights, it is this paper’s contention that Kerr’s assertion is the most defensible. This paper will discuss why the university is a loose federation sufficing for the satisfaction of diverse needs.

There were many reasons as to why the American Federation of Labor prevailed against the knights of labor. The AFL became more influential than the knights of labor because they were able to form strikes and other local councils that will cater for the needs of the workers. The reigning labor organization in America was the knight of labor especially in the 1880s. It was started in 1869, and at first, it was supposed to be a ritualistic organization but due to the fame, it gained fame thus the members expanded especially in the 1880s. They helped to support ...

The history of the formation and development of the American federalism is interesting because, in spite of all its specific features, it largely reflects the general trends that are inherent in any federal state. Such, for example, as a struggle between the center and the subjects of the federation for the rights and powers, as the trend towards centralization of power, and so on. In other words, it indicates the urgency of the problem of the relationship between the central government and form part of any complex public education.

Jackson’s political philosophy

The spirit of Jackson’s political philosophy was indeed democratic. He was in favor of the participation of the common man in the government.

In the 19th century, the labor system in the US made significant changes that would lead to empowerment of workers. These changes were made due to the bad state of the labor system, such as low wages, long hours of work, and unsanitary working place.

Many attempts failed, but still, the passion to reach the ultimate goal never faltered.

Regarding the employee conditions at schools, the government is doing a very poor job on employing good policies of employment relations. This has happened because over the years very few reforms have been made to improve on the working conditions of teachers and supporting staff regarding independent decision making at ...
